Carly Pearce's latest single, "I Hope You're Happy Now" is a duet with Lee Brice, and a song she wrote with Luke Combs (along with a couple of other songwriters).
"What makes it so beautiful is this is my apology to this person," she explains in a statement from her label. "I actually was pretty emotional at first when I saw the artwork of the heart [held together by stitches] and listening to the song, because I genuinely didn't mean to hurt this person, and I genuinely hope the best for them, and I genuinely hope that they're happy now.
"So I will never exploit their name or poke fun at them in the way that I did the guy that hurt me. But this is a genuine feeling that I think he probably knew would eventually come out in some way in my music, because that's what we do as songwriters. And I feel like what I went through so many people go through and what Lee is singing about so many people got through."
"I Hope You're Happy Now" will be included on Carly's sophomore album, which drops on February 14th.
